GLOBE Working Groups

GLOBE Working Groups

In addition to working with scientists, educators, and country partners around the world, GLOBE also collaborates with local community members to develop and implement GLOBE's mission. These teams, or Working Groups (WGs), provide us with valuable feedback on the management of The GLOBE Program and present us with potential opportunities for increasing our global impact. They also serve as an important link between the program and GLOBE communities at large.

Each of our five WGs is composed of up to seven nominated members. If there's a topic you think should be discussed by a WG and brought forward to the management of The GLOBE Program, you can contact a WG representative for your region. We strive to ensure that each of our six GLOBE regions maintain representation in our WGs, so if your region doesn't have a currently active member, please contact the WG Chair.
